In the 3rd grade musical I played The outlaw brother of Jesse James You were cheering In the 6th grade I got bullied some Said that I was fine but when the tears would come You were holding Onto me In the marching band, I stepped in time To the beat of a rhythm that I felt inside You were moving Mowing my backyard with the walkman on I would listen to my favorite songs You were singing Along with me All this time You were there By my side, You were everywhere On and on the years go by Through the darkest days to the brightest nights In every moment, You were there October evening in my dorm Watched the sunset fade and felt reborn You were speaking Without a word Then we wrote some songs, and we hit the road In a bright blue van, no matter where we'd go You were driving You were driving me, yeah All this time You were there By my side, You were everywhere On and on the years go by Through the darkest days to the brightest nights In every moment, You were there In my future, in my past Up ahead or looking back God, I know that You'll be here 'Cause You were there My wife and I drove in our car Where the island ends and the universe starts Captivated By Your majesty In that still, small moment we could see The edge of this whole galaxy No reason to look back When You're surrounding me, yeah All this time You're still here By my side, You are everywhere You were right there In my future, in my past Up ahead or looking back God, I know that You'll be here 'Cause You were there
